Let's do it for all the Sigs who came before us. 

Honoring the past and the future by donating now

If the brothers who gathered in 1919 to open our original chapter house could look into the future to see in 2019 what we're doing with our new Centennial Chapter house, they'd be thrilled. We are carrying the torch they past down through the generations. As Brother Larry Culver has said, "we've all warmed ourselves on the fire started by others before us. Now it's our turn to add a log to that fire for Sigs who come after us." So please keep donating so we can fund the purchase, delivery and installation of all furnishings, chairs, beds, lights, desks, washer and dryers, library and chapter room amenities, landscaping, courtyard features, interior and exterior lighting, our Sigma Chi yard sign and much, much more.

​

In a hundred years, maybe they'll be writing about us, our character and our generosity.

​

Just visualize opening day August 2020 when you walk through that door and see what you helped to fund. What a joy it will be. Do it for the guys shown on this page. Do it for future Sigs. Do it for your heart.

​

Raymond G. Munns

The original owner of this book

Just a short time after the end of WWII, a young Technical Sergeant learning Army radio operations named Raymond G. Munns inscribed his name in this

Ernie Pyle book "Brave Men." The farm boy from

Pomeroy, Washington had already fought four long

years in the Pacific including Guam and Iwo Jima,

where his little brother Ivan was killed after saving

four lives and trying to save a fifth.

Layne DeWitz, Ray's daughter, died just 35

days before her father

Ray Munns' home in Pomeroy, Washington

Ray eventually returned home where he ran an insurance company Obenland & Munns and had a very large family.In 2011, his daughter Layne died. In her obituary, it said Ray "was a strong role model and set the finest example exemplifying what integrity is." Just 34 days later, at 95, Ray also passed away. Ray was a civic leader and had a 53-year marriage to Shirley. This book made it's way to a small antique store in Pomeroy. Jeff Burnside purchased it in 2020 after which it found its way home to a place worthy of Raymond Munns and Ernie Pyle.
